Journalist and author Frank Smyth joins the show to discuss the NRA and the gun lobby's deep-seated ideology -- all centered around the slippery slope that even a little bit of gun regulation could lead to "tyranny" and even "genocide" in their eyes. Frank's followed the NRA for nearly 40 years. He and Joe might not agree on everything but his perspective on what needs to be done is worth a listen.

Then how do Jonathan and Alex see what's going on with the GOP today? Will this moment pass? How does the world view our democracy and how close to the edge are we? And what's a conversation that they had reporting the book that you might not have heard yet?
